Joyful
“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 6:10 of the King James Bible
Joyful life, that’s my set goal
While fulfilling granted role
Thus, to joy-Source I do cleave
Perfect will I must not leave.
Joy of God brings peace delight
Whenever in prayer flight
Cheering me midst hardship’s pain
For joyful calmness to reign.
Joy from the Lord gladdens heart
Securing me from guilt’s dart
To vanquish grievous sorrow
Toward joyful tomorrow.
Joy with Christ radiates hope
Smiting threats of despair scope
That assures heavenly rest
With joyful revival zest.
Joy in the Saviour prevails
Since His kindness never fails
Marked by grand redemption seal
Upholding joyful faith’s zeal.
Joy is the Almighty’s gift
To share triumphant uplift
Offered for all, indeed free
Marked by joyful goodness spree.
Joy shows glow of Holy Ghost
Exuding gratitude post
While exposing praise-filled bliss
From joyful spirit’s abyss.
Joy spreads the Creator’s mirth
Along divine presence worth
Rippling well in every way
Yon forever joyful day.
